Chapter 46

Zhao Jinbo gave a big smile, "I won't leave, I'm scaring you."

Qiao Ai snorted, put his hands back into his pockets, and looked quietly at the silver van across the street. The car that was lying there just now turned on its headlights.

"What are you staring at that car for?" Zhao Jinbo looked at her suspiciously.

"It's nothing."

"When will your brother come?"

Qiao Ai smiled bitterly, "I don't know."

Jiang Che should have arrived here before [-]:[-], but it was almost ten o'clock, and there was no sign of Jiang Che yet.

After all, I work in the emergency department, and there may be some patients with acute and severe diseases.

"How about taking a taxi and I'll take you back?"

Qiao Ai hesitated, and the silver bread across the street started to move and drove away slowly.

While she breathed a sigh of relief, she checked the time on her phone, and it was ten o'clock soon.

"Then take a taxi."

She sent Jiang Che a message on her mobile phone, saying that she took a taxi home and didn't need to pick it up.

Just after the message was successfully sent, Jiang Che called.

She answered the phone, and just said 'Hello', Jiang Che's panting voice came from the receiver, "There is an emergency, so I got off work late, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Fortunately."

"I'll be there soon."

"it is good."

Jiang Che was driving, didn't talk much, hung up the phone, stepped on the accelerator deeply, and drove towards Yizhong quickly.

Zhao Jinbo was about to use his mobile phone to call a car, but was stopped by Qiao Ai, "My brother will be there soon."

"Oh."

"Exactly, let my brother take you back."

"Forget it, it's not on the way."

"If you don't go along the way, you have to send it. It's too late now."

"I walk home every day."

Qiao Ai smiled lightly, "Boys should pay attention to safety when they go out."

Zhao Jinbo: ...

"By the way, I heard that you have been working hard recently?"

Zhao Jinbo's cheeks became hot, he touched the back of his head and smiled, "I can't help it, I have to pass the high school, or I have to go to a technical school."

"Then come on."

"Don't worry, as I said, I'm smart."

Just as Qiao Ai was about to say something, when he saw a white Audi driving towards them, he swallowed the words.

Zhao Jinbo wanted to go home by himself, but both Jiang Che and Qiao Ai insisted on seeing him off, so he had no choice but to get in the car.

After sending Zhao Jinbo back to his residence, Jiang Che turned the car around and drove in the direction of Bishuiwan.

Along the way, he glanced at the rearview mirror from time to time, but he didn't find the silver van that Qiao Ai mentioned.

"Didn't you say that that car will follow us tonight?"

Joey: ...

She also found it strange that the van drove away before Jiang Che arrived.

Maybe she really thought too much.

She didn't continue this topic, and said to Jiang Che: "I want to buy painting books and paints this weekend, can you accompany me there?"

"Not on weekends."

"Do you have other arrangements?" She asked knowingly.

"Ah."

"Oh."

She didn't say clearly that she knew about Jiang Che's going on a blind date, but it made her feel a little uncomfortable.

When she got home, she finished her homework first, and then went to the bathroom to wash up. While brushing her teeth, Jiang Che suddenly appeared. The man was leaning against the door with a mobile phone attached to his ear, and he was talking to someone.

"Wait a minute, I'll give her the phone." After a casual sentence, the man handed her the phone.

She quickly rinsed her mouth, took the phone, and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"

"Uncle Jiang Sheng."

She cleared her throat, put the mobile phone to her ear, and called her uncle cautiously, Jiang Sheng's bold laughter came from the receiver, "Qiao Ai, I'm sorry, because of work reasons, I won't be able to go back for a while , We haven’t seen each other yet.”

"It's ok."

"What a good boy, by the way, Jiang Che didn't bully you, did he?"

"No."

"Just tell him if you need anything, don't be polite to him."

"Ah."

"I can't make it back for Christmas, but I'll send you a present for Christmas. What do you want?"

Qiao Ai thought for a while, then said with a smile: "No, it should be troublesome to send things from abroad."

"It's okay, tell me what you want."

"I don't want anything."

"Okay, then I'll watch and buy it for you."

Qiao Ai smiled helplessly. Jiang Che's generosity obviously has inherited Jiang Sheng's good genes. The father and son are kind and gentle to others. Jiang Sheng is far away from abroad, and he still wants to give her a Christmas present. She can't help but feel warm.

She thought that both Jiang Sheng and Jiang Che should know that her birthday happened to be on that day.

When Jiang Che was in charge of handling the transfer procedures for her, he must have read her student information.

"It must be very late over there, right?" Jiang Sheng's voice came again.

Qiao Ai let out an 'hmm'.

"Then I won't bother you, go to bed early."

"Goodbye uncle."

"Goodbye."

Only after Jiang Sheng hung up the phone did Qiao Ai return the phone to Jiang Che.

She continued to wash her face, Jiang Che leaned against the door without any intention of leaving, "What did your uncle Jiang Sheng tell you?"

"Talk about giving Christmas presents."

"It's your birthday."

Qiao Ai was silently excited, Jiang Che really remembered her birthday.

"How do you want to spend your birthday?"

Wiping off the water stains on her face with a towel, Qiao Ai patted some moisturizing water on her face, and glanced at Jiang Che through the mirror. The man had a lazy expression with his arms folded, but there was a deep smile between his brows and eyes.

"Stay at home."

"Not with your classmates?"

"It would be even better if you could invite your classmates to your home."

"it is good."

Qiao Ai was stunned: "Do you agree?"

"Birthday, once a year, I will agree to whatever request you ask."

"So... when is your birthday?"

"It's over."

"Which day?"

"December 11."

"..."

Jiang Che's birthday was also the day her parents died in a car accident.

"I didn't want to tell you." Jiang Che seemed to realize that he shouldn't mention it. He walked up to Qiao Ai in a few steps, ruffled her hair, and said in a soft and magnetic tone, "Our adults don't have birthdays."

"Oh."

"Go to bed early."

She nodded and obediently went back to the room.

However, she was thinking wildly, she suffered from insomnia that night, and tossed and turned on the bed for a long time without being able to fall asleep.

The next day, she didn't hear the alarm clock, it was Jiang Che who called her several times before he managed to wake her up.

She got up in a daze, washed her face, changed her clothes, and followed Jiang Che out.

After eating at the breakfast shop downstairs as usual, Jiang Che drove her to school, and she took a nap in the car, not paying attention to whether the silver van appeared.

On the contrary, Jiang Che found the car, and observed carefully all the way, he did find that the van had been following them.

He was inexplicably concerned, but the other party just followed them and didn't do anything, so he had no choice but to give up, but he also took care to write down the license plate number. When waiting for the traffic lights, he wrote down the license plate number in the notebook.

The license plate is Jiangbei City, Qiao Ai's hometown.

He wondered, could it be that there are relatives in Qiao Ai's hometown?
